Question

Which of the following districts is completely surrounded by land, shares no international/state border, and has no coastline?

• A. Pathanamthitta
• B. Kottayam
• C. Wayanad
• D. Idukki

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Kottayam

• Correct Answer: Option B - Kottayam

• Pathanamthitta: While it doesn't have a coastline, it shares borders with Tamil Nadu state.

• Kottayam: It is completely landlocked, surrounded only by other Kerala districts (Idukki, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, and Ernakulam). It has no international borders, no state borders with other Indian states, and no coastline.

• Wayanad: It shares borders with both Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states.

• Idukki: It shares a border with Tamil Nadu state.

• Kottayam is the only district among the options that meets all three criteria: it is completely surrounded by land, has no international or other state borders, and has no coastline. It is an entirely inland district surrounded only by other districts of Kerala.
